If you're looking for a cheap but ridiculously awesome aftershave, check out The Shave Den's aftershave milks. You can get the sample sizes for cheap and try a few different scents. They have a ton to choose from and they work fantastic and last and last - a little goes a long way. You can get them with or without menthol and they are good both ways, it's just up to your preference. They don't burn at all going on which is a nice. They are not quite lotion, but not quite splash, literally a milky feel.

I've also tried samples of their splashes, which are the same scents only in splash form. I like these as well, but I'm more of a milk kind of guy I guess.
